Summary "La Comédie humaine - Volume 04" by Honoré de Balzac is a novel written in the mid-19th century. This volume is part of a vast series that intricately explores French society and its myriad characters during this era. The text primarily focuses on themes of marriage, love, and societal expectations, featuring characters such as Calyste and Sabine as they navigate the complexities of their relationship and the influence of previous love interests. At the start of this volume, we witness the poignant aftermath of Calyste and Sabine's wedding. The narrative delves into the emotional and psychological landscape of their marriage, highlighting the tension between their expectations and the realities they face. Through letters exchanged between Sabine and her mother, we see Sabine's struggles with feelings of inadequacy and jealousy, particularly regarding Calyste's past love, Béatrix. This opening sets the stage for a profound exploration of love, loyalty, and the often harsh realities of married life in high society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
